Controversial Nollywood actor turned pastor, Yul Edochie, has claimed that many pastors are originally called to be native doctors.

He noted that many pastors refused to heed to their call of being a native doctor because the whites and the Nigerian movie industry paints native doctors as evil.

Advising further, he urged those with the calling of a native doctor to answer their calling, or risk not having fulfillment in life..

Yul wrote on Instagram:
"Many pastors today actually have the calling to be native doctors but they are refusing to answer the call bcos oyibo people brainwashed us to believe it is evil. And Nollywood has also contributed in making native doctors look evil.

“Being a native doctor is a divine call from God Almighty, it means you have been chosen to help humanity.

A true native doctor fights evil. Unless he decides to be evil. Same way a pastor can decide to be evil.

“Go and answer your call. You may never have fulfilment in your life if you don’t answer your call.”
